Program Note
In a time of chaos, one can only imagine a future where everything has been lost. This work for solo English horn is conceptually set in this future, where memories and emotions growl viscerally through lamenting melodies with fragmented multiphonic sounds. It in this soundscape where we imagine what was left behind from the past, should we ever have to live in this dark and broken world.
